why isn't Matt Gaetz telling the people in his South to get their asses off their couches and bike?
I think my tandem with a 1000 watt wheel and the 48 volt 14 AH battery was about $600 total. But I put it together.This year's Juiced RipCurrent S comes with a 1000W hub and is only $2500. That's what I have my sights set on. Later this summer I'll be moving to a place that's only a 15 minute ride to my office so I'll be happily using it to commute on good days.
Summer is coming and I'm thinking of replacing my current e bike with a fat tire model to do more logging road rides. I had to laugh when as I researched bikes I came across the following.
"Since e-bike riders don’t need to expend as much energy to pedal, in theory, they don’t need as many calories as someone pedaling a conventional bike. In turn, this means less production and fewer food miles per person. If you look at it this way, e-biking might even be better and more energy-efficient than walking. Traveling just one kilometer by e-bike requires about five to 15 watt-hours of energy. Meanwhile, walking demands 15 to 20, depending on the person. "
Yep that's how nuts these people are.
Are Electric Bikes Good for the Environment? A Closer Look - Get Green Now
Electric bikes aren’t a new idea, by any means. The first patent for an electric bicycle dates back more than 100 years, and there’s already a relatively large market for them in Europe. Now, North Americans are starting to make the switch, and within the next three years (2020-2023), experts...get-green-now.com
We haven't even come close to a good start in fixing the problems we've created. If you're uncomfortable with that, that's your conservative problem.
This thread subject and comments does little to nothing about it, previous point stands.
But try to pigeonhole more, it gives us all a good laugh at your repeated failures.
myPoint demolished your point.
Then you woke up, this thread is meaningless to the climate change debate. But seeing you take this side speaks volumes for your consistent failure.
myPoint demolished your point and you're still flailing.
We'll get you a tissue, it'll be okay.
Now explain to us how e-bikes will save the planet from all of us polluters using conventional bikes. Go on, tell us all about it.
I don't need a tissue to deal with your weak trolling and straw man argument.
I've seen you post some decent stuff. I've even acknowledged it.
My question goes to the point of this thread, in the article a little over half way down, "Offsetting Food Emissions," you arrogantly and foolishly went there, own up or admit you are trolling.
Again: myPoint demolished your point. If you'd actually like to discuss those points, I'm happy to.
You still do not have a point, you jumped into a thread without addressing the subject of the thread, and are giving yourself a very hollow victory lap.
We have gone off the deep edge with this shit.

They are extremely polluting to produce.Batteries are probably very efficient, too.
They are extremely polluting to produce.
Exactly, and claiming e bikes are better for the environment than conventional bikes shows how out of touch with reality the AGW e vehicle obsessed climate change hysteria crowd has become.As are cars, tires, oils, gasoline, diesel, most food, guns, staplers, houses, streets, highways, power plants, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc ...
Exactly
Must have missed it. I was out cutting down trees all morning but I've been riding my e bike a lot lately which saves trees so the stumps I made today don't actually exist and I'm a net zero tree cutter downer. Nutty stuff huh.Did you reply to my longer comment?
Must have missed it.
AGW climate hysteria has nothing to do with environmentalism. In fact it sucks up all the air In the room and takes the focus off of real pollution. Even worse the so called answers to so called climate change are often devastating to the environment. The environmental movement has been hijacked and derailed very successfully by this politically inspired AGW agenda.#11.
You being progressive on one narrow issue is interesting. Industrial agriculture is bad but the rest of environmentalism is a joke to you.
Good sale on last years model. Nice bike. I'm putting it on my list.This year's Juiced RipCurrent S comes with a 1000W hub and is only $2500. That's what I have my sights set on. Later this summer I'll be moving to a place that's only a 15 minute ride to my office so I'll be happily using it to commute on good days.
From My understanding for something to be considered an electric bicycle in the US means that it has a top powered speed of about 18 mph.There are tons of ebikes, but I really wish there were more smaller electric motorcycles to choose from. I don't need something to peddle, as I get plenty of exercise already. The sur ron is too slow and the zero fx is too heavy. Hopefully the Japanese motorcycle manufacturers will get into the market soon.
